Most stars are so secretive, it’s hard to know what tidbits of information are true, and what pieces are just rumors. But sometimes, it becomes clear who’s lying when divorce paperwork is filed, babies are born, or weddings are celebrated hush-hush. There’s plenty of scandal and drama going on in the celeb world, and these cheating moms are just the beginning.

While some celebrity moms fess up later- or even write about their experiences- some are more likely to avoid the press and fly under the radar to avoid judgment. It doesn’t always work, though, since today’s tabloids are more persistent than ever in uncovering the texts, phone calls, emails, and pics that prove incriminating to the public and the judges in their respective divorce proceedings.

Whether it’s the infamous Brangelina rumor mill or one of MTV’s favorite teen moms dropping hints or doing damage control on Twitter, there’s no shortage of cheating drama to go around. In the end, though, we can’t know what’s really going on- even when there’s what appears to be positive photographic evidence. So take these serial cheater celeb mom stories with a grain of salt- because unless there’s a baby or a wedding afterward, it’s hard to prove the old saying, once a cheater, always a cheater.

15 Claire Danes - Finally Settling Down?

Now a married mom of one, you wouldn’t know that Claire’s past includes multiple cheating scandals, according to the NY Daily News. It started when she began dating Ben Lee, an Australian singer, in 1997. The two broke up in 2003, but rumors began during their relationship that Claire was also seeing actor Billy Crudup. At the time, Crudup was married to Mary Louise Parker, who was pregnant when the two divorced in 2003.

Claire and Billy dated until 2006, and shortly after that relationship dissolved, Claire started dating now-husband Hugh Dancy. The pair got married in 2009 and had their son Cyrus in 2012. Thankfully, the rumor mill seems to have stopped re: Claire and her many men, so hopes are high for an end to the cheating. That, and their little family is so cute, we’d hate to see them split up.

14 Sienna Miller - Two Sides

After the drama surrounding Sienna Miller and then-boyfriend Jude Law’s cheating with the nanny of his kids, no one could blame Sienna for leaving him. But in 2014, during a trial in which reporters were accused and convicted of hacking Sienna and other celebrities’ phones, risqué voicemails from Sienna to Daniel Craig were revealed, US Magazine reported. Apparently Sienna was cheating with Daniel Craig, and her driver later sold the story to a tabloid.

Following the end of that apparently dysfunctional relationship, Sienna began dating Balthazar Getty, who was married at the time. Sienna even sued two tabloids over photos of them together, the actress’s Wikipedia entry states. Years later, she and Jude Law even got back together. Ultimately, though, she dated and had a child with Tom Sturridge. That coupling ended in 2015. Here’s hoping Sienna teaches daughter Marlowe better when it comes to relationships.

13 Jennifer Lopez - Player

It’s been a long time since they were in the spotlight together, but back in the day, Jennifer Lopez and P. Diddy dated for about two years. This was before her two kids with Marc Anthony, but if her rumors are to be believed, she’s always been a “player,” at least according to Diddy. The Australian News site quoted Diddy as saying Jennifer was a player who “knows how to keep” men “in line.”

Whether that’s true or not, Jennifer has a history of hooking up with high-profile men, from Diddy to Ben Affleck to Marc Anthony. In between, she dated and married one of her backup dancers, Cris Judd. Following her split from Marc in 2011 (although they weren’t divorced until 2014), Jennifer got with another former backup dancer, Casper Smart. But come 2017, she hooked up with Alex Rodriguez, who has two kids of his own.

12 Leann Rimes - Happiness Comes First

LeAnn Rimes’ divorce from her first husband, backup dancer Dean Sheremet, was hugely publicized due to her rise to fame in the 90s. At the same time, the guy she was cheating with- now-husband Eddie Cibrian- was married too, and had two children with his former wife. Rimes and Cibrian apparently fell in love on the set of a TV film they were both in.

Rimes later told the media that she didn’t regret breaking up two marriages for her own happiness, according to the singer’s Wikipedia page. The two cheaters wound up getting married in 2011, and Rimes became step-mom to Cibrian’s sons, Mason and Jake. At the time the two married, Rimes was only 28, and she publicly expressed how hard it was suddenly “becoming a parent” at 28.

11 Angelina Jolie - Breaking Marriages

Angelina Jolie’s most prominent cheating scandal involves her movie role in Mr. and Mrs. Smith in 2005 alongside Brad Pitt, but that wasn’t the only mark on Jolie’s past, according to Hollywood Life. The actress claimed that she fell in love with Brad on set, but that she wouldn’t get involved with a married man because her father had cheated on her mother.

But prior to meeting Brad, Angelina dated model-actress Jenny Shimizu, a relationship which Jenny claims lasted throughout multiple public relationships of Angelina’s throughout the years. And even before that, Jolie was married to Jonny Lee Miller until 1999, when she divorced him, then turned around months later and married Billy Bob Thornton. Now the mom of six is single again, and can hopefully start fresh amid rumors she cheated on Brad and broke down their marriage.

10 Heidi Klum - Quite The Trail

Although Heidi Klum and musician Seal’s relationship and marriage spanned ten years and four kids, the origins of the relationship are a little off-putting. Heidi was reportedly dating Flavio Briatore, a managing director of a Formula One team, in March of 2003. By December she was pregnant with his daughter, but the two separated before the baby was born. Klum started dating Seal while she was pregnant with Leni, and Seal attended the birth, later adopting Leni.

While that’s a little strange, Seal and Heidi went on to earn recognition as a super cute couple and renewed their wedding vows every year on their anniversary. But in 2012, they announced their separation, amid rumors that Heidi was cheating with the family’s bodyguard, Martin Kristen. That lasted about a year and a half, less time than it took for Heidi and Seal’s divorce to be finalized.

9 Coco Austin - Keeping It On The DL

She shocked fans and critics alike when daughter Chanel was born with husband and rapper Ice T, as Coco Austin proved a more hands-on mom than anyone expected. But maybe it shouldn’t have been that shocking, since there was little disturbance in over a decade of Ice T and Coco’s marriage, even with the addition of a reality TV show following their lives.

However, photos surfaced of Coco embracing AP.9 in a Vegas club, and the rapper hinted that he had more photos of Coco, too- with her wearing way less clothing, Daily Mail reported. Ice T took to Twitter with his anger and embarrassment, while Coco maintained nothing happened. Then another photo emerged of her with a man called Moose Diesel, and in the photos, the man’s hand is on her rear end.

8 Britney Spears - Photos Of It All

In the midst of her emergence as a pop icon, rumors swirled around Britney Spears’ relationship with then-beau Justin Timberlake. The pair dated for three years, and a song that Justin released following their breakup led fans to believe that Britney had cheated. Rumors of a relationship with Fred Durst also came out, but Britney denied those.

Then, in 2004, Britney and one of her backup dancers, Kevin Federline, went public with their relationship. Federline left his then-fiancee while she was pregnant with their second child, and went on to have two boys with Britney. The couple’s marriage ended in 2007, and Today speculated that Britney cheated, based on her flirtation with a friend of Kevin’s right after their separation. Apparently, Britney also told Kevin during their nasty divorce that she was sleeping around and asked him if he’d seen photos of her kissing her new beau.

7 Jessica Simpson - The Cliche

If you missed Jessica Simpson and then-husband Nick Lachey’s reality show, consider yourself lucky. Their early-2000’s debut on the small screen portrayed Jessica as an airhead, but it apparently helped both the singers’ careers. However, rumors began that Jessica cheated during their marriage, with none other than Maroon 5 front-man Adam Levine. Then Bam Margera claimed to have hooked up with Jessica while Nick was out of town, US Magazine reported.

Jessica and Nick’s marriage ended in 2006, following another rumor that Jessica was hooking up with then-costar Johnny Knoxville. The same year, she also dated John Mayer, and after that a string of men led her to now-husband Eric Johnson, whom she married in 2014. The pair now have two kids, Maxwell and Ace, and appear a fairly tame coupling in comparison to the well-documented exploits of Jessica and her ex-husband.

6 Kris Jenner - Who's Khloe's Real Dad?

Mom of six Kris Jenner is no stranger to the spotlight, since her first husband, Robert Kardashian, was one of O.J. Simpson’s lawyers. Their marriage lasted from 1978 until 1991, during which Kourtney, Kim, Khloe, and Rob were born. But Kim has publicly confessed that she cheated on Robert with former soccer player Todd Waterman, according to the Wikipedia page about the socialite.

One month after her divorce from Robert Kardashian was finalized, Kris married Bruce Jenner (now Caitlyn). They had Kendall and Kylie together, and Kris became stepmom to Bruce’s four kids- Burt, Casey, Brandon, and Brody. But Todd Waterman showed up during this marriage too- and he was even filmed during an episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Waterman also publicly claimed that he and Kris were still hooking up at the time she married Bruce.

5 Meg Ryan - Getting Dumped

When her ten-year marriage to Dennis Quaid self-combusted, Meg Ryan went public with her accusations that the actor had repeatedly cheated on her while they were together. However, tabloids also reported over the years that Meg had cheated with Russell Crowe, with whom she starred in Proof of Life in 2000. According to the Daily Mail, Meg tried to defend herself saying that the tabloids can’t report a complicated story, and that the cheating rumors were a way of getting attention in the media.

The British press reported she was cheating at the time, People wrote, and immediately after, she moved out of her and Dennis’ home. Proof of Life tanked, then Russell Crowe dumped her, and she was famous for not-so-desirable reasons. The two had a son together, but Meg later adopted a little girl from China on her own, and has dated John Mellencamp off and on for years.

4 Madonna - It's All About Her

Her love life has always been utterly fascinating- she’s dated both men and women, from Sean Penn (whom she married) to Vanilla Ice to Dennis Rodman- but when Madonna and then-husband Guy Ritchie headed for divorce, rumors began that Madonna had cheated with Alex Rodriguez. Gulf News wrote that Madonna started seeing Rodriguez while he was still “very married,” in 2008, and her divorce from Ritchie was finalized that year.

A brief fling with a 22-year-old Brazilian model passed time for the then-50-year-old singer before she met Brahim Zaibat, a French choreographer whom she wound up dating for about three years. But after their breakup, Madonna seemed to focus more on her kids- her two biological children, Lourdes and Rocco, and her adopted kids, David, Mercy, Estere, and Stelle- which is a welcome change given her penchant for public relationships.

3 Kailyn Lowry - Red Handed

Life as a teen mom on reality TV wasn’t easy, but Kailyn’s definitely grown up since her first appearance on MTV’s 16 & Pregnant. She first appeared on the show while pregnant with son Isaac, whose dad was Jo. Even in the early days when Isaac was a newborn, there were accusations of Kailyn cheating. Immediately after she and Jo officially broke up, Kailyn started dating a coworker.

Once Kailyn got out of Jo’s family’s house and was on her own, she started dating and later married Javi, with whom she had her second son. Their marital disputes were often recorded by MTV’s cameras, and one particular fight involved Javi coming home from a deployment and apparently catching Kailyn with another guy. Fast forward to post-separation for those two, and Kailyn had her third son with now-ex Chris Lopez, who she said cheated on her multiple times before they split.

2 Jenelle Evans - Make It Public

She led a troubled childhood, but Jenelle Evans’ rise to MTV stardom hasn’t been easy, either. Her on-camera fights with mom Barbara added plenty of drama to her Teen Mom episodes. But the drama didn’t stop after Jenelle got out on her own. Mom never approved of Jenelle and her now-ex Kieffer’s relationship, but that didn’t stop Jenelle from stoking the fire.

Jenelle’s on her second marriage and third child now, but the drama keeps coming, according to The Hollywood Gossip. Ex-boyfriend Nathan Griffith and his friend Ryan Dolph have been stirring up drama, particularly after Jenelle took a dig at Ryan over Twitter. He responded with accusations of her hooking up with Kieffer while she was dating Nathan, plus keeping inappropriate photos of Nathan on her phone during her relationship with now-husband David Eason. Sounds like Jenelle has trouble getting over her exes.

1 Morena Baccarin - Should Have Seen It Coming

She’s starred in entertainment picks like Deadpool, Gotham, Malevolent, and The Good Wife, but her real life is pretty fascinating, too. Morena Baccarin was married to Austin Chick in 2011, and they had a son together in late 2013. But in July of 2015, Chick filed for divorce. It didn’t come out of nowhere, Morena claimed, because they had discussed separation before that, as early as March, TMZ noted. But Chick said that they didn’t stop sharing a bed until months later.

At the same time, divorce paperwork revealed that Morena was already pregnant with her co-star Ben McKenzie’s child. Chick maintains she’d been cheating, while Morena denied it, but either way, she gave birth to McKenzie’s child just over two weeks before her divorce from Chick was finalized. People reported that Morena will now pay her ex $3500 per month in child support until their son Julius turns 18.
